Former Everton midfielder Phil Neville was taken to task on the social network site for his dull and uninspiring co-commentary as the 37-year-old made his World Cup debut for the BBC alongside Guy Mowbray.

Neville’s remarks on the Group D match were apparently so boring that it caused many fans to take a cheeky dig (or two) at the Manchester United coach.

BBC Radio 5Live presenter Danny Baker was one of those supporters who turned on Neville for his monotone voice during the game – and even accidentally referred to Phil as his brother Gary Neville, who has been widely praised for his punditry work since retiring from football.

It might be slightly harsh but there is good news for Neville (and viewers).

ITV are set to show England’s next World Cup game against Uruguay on June 19 so Neville has plenty of time to work on his commentary – although that does leave fans with the small case of Adrian Chiles…
